Abstract: Visual differences between a first and second image are determined by first modifying the first and second image signals to model non-linear response to luminance in cone receptors of an eye, modifying the first and second image signals to compensate for both optical properties of the eyes and neural interaction between cells in a retina, adjusting sensitivity to image differences to model the ability of the human visual system to discern features in an image, and comparing the first and second image signals based on the adjusted sensitivity. An output based on this comparison is provided in the form of either an in-context map having first and second colors superimposed on one of the images to moderate differences or in the form of a free-form map having light and dark pixels thereon indicating differences.

IPC: C09K8/92
Filed: 1994-04-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for maintaining the mechanical integrity and for maximizing the chemical integrity of a core sample during transport from a subterranean formation to the surface. The method involves cutting and encapsulating a core sample with an encapsulating material that increases in viscosity or even solidifies, at temperatures slightly lower than those expected downhole, or relatively early in the transport process. 
     A preferred encapsulating material contains at least one polyglycol or chemically modified polyglycol from the oxyalkylene polymer family. The specific formulation of the encapsulating material differs depending upon the expected downhole conditions. For example, the encapsulating material can include a thickener, a nucleating agent, and a water swellable material or another inert material that is capable of sealing the core sample against water. A preferred nucleating agent would serve both as a heat transfer agent and a crystallization trigger, and therefore would speed up the rate at which the encapsulating material would solidify or increase in viscosity, particularly downhole. The encapsulating material should either solidify or increase in viscosity enough to protect the mechanical integrity and maximize the chemical integrity of the core sample for analysis at the surface. The chemical integrity of the core sample can be further maximized by using the present invention in conjunction with a pressure core barrel.

Abstract: A system supports the use of audio information cursors and Quick Info Windows. The audio information cursors provide audio information about objects to which the cursors point. For instance, an audio information cursor may provide audio output specifying the name of an object to which the cursor points. Quick Info Windows are windows that are generated to provide information about objects shown on a video display. Each Quick Info Window initially includes a pointer that points to the object associated with the window. The Quick Info Window provides information such as the name of the object, the purpose of the object and how to use the object.

Abstract: Activity on a digital communication network (10) is divided into periodic intervals and during a segment of each periodic interval a moderator station broadcasts a numerical count of the periodic intervals to all stations (12-16) on the network. Each station has a memory in which a numerical value is stored, and a comparator that compares the numerical value to the numerical count received from the network. When the numerical count of the periodic intervals equals the numerical value, an apparatus within the station performs a defined operation, such as transmitting a message over the network or synchronizing a clock in the station to a master time standard. The equality of the periodic interval count and the numerical value also can be used to determine when to signal an external device. By using the count of the periodic intervals in this manner, the operation of several stations (12-16) on the network can be coordinated.

Abstract: With a luminance signal and color signal separating circuit, a luminance signal and a color signal are properly separated in a horizontal color transition area of an image, so that dot interference in the color transition area of a reproduced image is minimized. 
     The output signal of a vertical carrier color signal extraction filter is delayed by first and second delay means in a horizontal carrier color signal extraction filter, so that the first delay means outputs a first delay signal where the output signal of the vertical carrier color signal extraction filter is delayed by a first predetermined time, while the second delay means outputs a second delay signal where the output signal of the vertical carrier color signal extraction filter is delayed by a second predetermined time; the phase relationship between the first delay signal and the output signal of the vertical carrier color signal extraction filter and second delay signal is inverted, after which a signal having an intermediate value is outputted as an intermediate value signal from the intermediate value selecting means, and the output signal of the first delay means and the intermediate value signal are added together, thereby extracting a carrier color signal.

Abstract: A redundant array of independent data storage libraries of dismountable media units includes parity logging and unique parity update reintegration techniques to improve system performance by reducing the number of media mounts. The media units are arranged into redundancy groups that store the data as sets or parity groups of data blocks and a corresponding parity block. When new data is to be written parity updates are computed and stored in a parity log in nonvolatile storage, such as a magnetic fixed disk drive. The new data blocks are then written onto the media units, but the corresponding new parity blocks are not written if the media units containing the old parity blocks are not mounted at the time the parity updates are computed. If a media unit containing an old parity block is already mounted at the time the parity update is computed, then a new parity block is computed based on the parity update and the new parity block is written to the media unit without logging the parity update.

Abstract: The vertical and/or horizontal synchronizing frequencies of red (R), green (G) and blue (B) video signals are detected by a frequency detector (5). A measure of the resolution of the RGB video signals (e.g. lines per field) is calculated from them by a calculator (6). When the resolution of the RGB video signals is close to the resolution of a cathode-ray-tube (CRT) 4, a high level signal is generated as a control signal from a control signal generator (7). In response to this the video bandwidth of the RGB video signals is limited by a video bandwidth limiting circuit (2), to thus adapt the RGB video signal to characteristics of the CRT.
